Practice question
Question
An enzyme that follows Michaelis-Menten kinetics catalyzes the conversion of 35 micro M substrate into product with a reaction velocity of 10 micro M s ⁻¹ . The Km and k cat for the substrate are 14 micro M and 500 s ⁻¹ respectively. The total amount of enzyme taken for the enzyme reaction is __ nM.
Explanation
Biologically, enzyme kinetics operates via substrate binding and catalytic efficiency determine reaction rates. Thus Option NAT is appropriate since it reflects active-site specificity and regulation, reinforcing core concepts taught in biochemistry.
